Nauplia

     
 
 
 

Thursday, 6th September 2012

Based in Nauplia for the day.
Excusions to Mycenae (morning) and Epidauris (afternoon).

   
 
 
 
 
The ship dropped anchor a short distance from shore and we were taken ashore by tender
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Above: Useful devices for listening to the guides
at a distance or, on certain occasions, switching
off when we had had our fill of information!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Geoff was delighted to spot these Cyclamen growing wild
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Back to the ship for lunch
 
 
After lunch, we again disembarked via tender and got back on the coach to go to Epidaurus.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
When we returned to the ship, Geoff confessed that he had earlier asked the head of housekeeping if we could move to another cabin, because of the noise in the vicinity of cabin 728A. By the time that Bruce came back from the afternoon lecture, the deed had been done! We were both pleased and somewhat relieved to have a much quieter cabin (711) further forward on the Bridge deck.
 
 
Leaving Nauplia en-route for Monemvasia
 

We had a quiet table for two for dinner that evening. It was, once again, a very good meal. Geoff, unsually, had ice cream for dessert and enjoyed that too!
